OOTD - A Rainy Day Outfit

Hey there lovies! 

With all the gorgeous weather we've been having this past week, the unexpected pour down on Saturday left me in a fashion dilemma. It was still warm but miserable. Here's a little outfit I put together that day, photos courtesy of my lovely boyfriend! I went for a swing dress layered over a crop tee with a simple old leather jacket and boots, easy peasy.

Jacket - Warehouse (an old favourite)

Dress - Boohoo £10 (a new favourite)

Crop T-shirt - Topshop £8

Statement necklace - Primark £12

Shoes - Ebay £20

Satchel bag - Primark £8

Umbrella - Primark £2

What's your favourite rainy day outfit?

OOTD - Leather and Jeans, Garage Glamorous

Hello my little muffins!

Despite the weird weather the North West is experiencing the last couple of days (rain one minute then sun the next? Just decide!) I did want to share with you my favourite outfit from this week.

This top is super cute, the leather sleeves and collar give it a bit of an edge (I'm loving the punky grungy influences in the upcoming seasons trends) and the wine colour makes it a little bit brighter. I have a longer body and short legs so finding tops which come to a nice length on me is really difficult but I really like the length on this and how it goes slightly longer at the back.

I just put this on with my gap skinny jeans and my favourite DM shoes! Comfy, girly grunge! Teamed with a smudgy eye and a sheer colour on the lip, I think this is my favourite look for the current weather.

Top - Primark £10

Jeans - Gap £30

Shoes - Dr Martens £85

Summer 2013 Lookbook

Ooooh how lovely is this sun! It honestly gives me a teeny bit of hope that I may actually tan this summer. Anyhoo I just wanted to show you guys what I've been loving/will be wearing in this gorgeous weather so I've put together a little lookbook. This is a mixture of older pieces and things I've picked up over the last couple of weeks (mostly from Primark, I'm loving their Summer stuff this year!). Hope you like!

Colour Clash Maxi

I am totally in love with these maxis, I have a black one from last year (from a boutique I can't remember the name of) and found them so comfy and easy to wear. I also bought this in a coral colour, they look great in the summer with sandals or in the Autumn with a leather jacket and converse. I know I've always said I HATED the neon trend but this Summer seems to have converted me, but accessories only. I still can't seem to break my non-neon mental barrier. 

Cornflower Maxi - Primark £8

Jelly Shoes - Primark £4

Neon Satchel - Primark £9

Pretty in Mint

I think mints just one of those colours everybody can work. It instantly adds a hint of girly to anything and this Summer I can't get enough of it! This dress is super flattering and makes me feel gorgeous because even though it is short it stops at a flattering place on my bigger thighs and nips in at the waist. Plus the floaty fabric skims my tum and hips to create the optical illusion of less me. Flatforms are my new thing! They are the revolution I have been waiting for! I hate wearing just flats, I'm more of a sandals or boots girl (weather depending) and the odd pair of ballet flats I wear are for jeans only. I feel like I need something to elongate my little legs a bit more without the unbearable foot pain. In come these babies! SO glad I let my mum talk me into getting these.

Chiffon Dress - Primark £17

Flatforms - Topshop £42

Aztec Blur

I think this dress is my find of the season. I love the colours and the looser fit. The fabric also feels really nice for how little I paid for it and I love how versatile it is. BIG THUMBS UP. This necklace called to me, I could hear it whispering 'Emma...buy me...I'm so pretty' so it's not my fault. Blame the necklace. For Primark £10 is very pricey for a piece of jewellery but I do think it looks a lot more expensive than it was and it just adds something to the outfit.  

Printed Dress - Primark £13

Navy Ankle Socks - Primark £1.50

Flatforms - Topshop £42

Statement Necklace - Primark Limited Edition £10

Alright in White

I've had this dress for a couple of months, I actually took it travelling with me and wore it to death. Really flattering over my rounder parts and I'm not really a fan of getting my cleavage out so the high neck is perfecto. This necklace was a birthday present from an auntie aaaaages ago but every summer it pops back out to play. The colours are just so pretty and sparkly I always find an outfit to put it with. These wedges were from Matalan last Summer but are so comfy and don't hurt my feet nearly as much as most heels do. I can't remember the price but I have a feeling it was around the £15 mark? I know it was silly cheap and they do look and feel a lot more expensive than they are. I will continue to wear these until they literally disintegrate.

White Skater Dress - Primark £13

Tan Wedges - Matalan 

Statement Necklace - Oasis

Yes I am a dress girl in the Summer, I don't really wear shorts other than over my bikinis (and I don't want to terrify you all with a picture of that now do I). Hope you liked my little photoshoot!

Yet Another Primark Haul

Oopsie daisy. Primark has reeled me in yet again! All I wanted was a hoody and I came back with a TON of europe goodies. Let's get started then...

First I picked up these 2 lovely floaty vest tops with a sheer panel at the hem for £4 each. I love the bright colours! They are a little sheer but I have a couple of bandeaus to wear underneath.

Then I picked up this pretty sheer shirt with a denim collar and cute polka dots for £7, so cute to wear with shorts!

I had a bit of a blue polka dot theme and got this gorgeous silky loose vest with a longer hem at the back. I thought this would be really loose and light in the sun. This was also a bargain £4!

Aaaand lastly the one thing I wanted, a hoody! I needed something that I could throw on over any of my outfits I've crammed into my backpack. I picked this pretty mint colour because its so bang on trend and perfect for summer! This was a mere £8 and I decided to get a size bigger just to make it extra snuggly.

Hope you enjoyed my little wardrobe insight! (And a glimpse at my  pretty wallpaper)

April's Fashion Favourites

Hello gorgeous people!! I know I'm a teeeeny bit late and we are now in May but I wanted to share with you a few pieces I have been loving and wearing to death over April...

Firstly is this gorgeous handmade collar by Purlesque, a tiny weeny shop on the first floor in the Liverpool branch of Pop Boutique. I actually haven't worn it yet but I can't stop looking at it! It cost around £12 and the lovely ladies in there hand make a huuuuge selection of gorgeous quirky jewellery and collars aswell as selling cutie haberdashery bits.

This shirt is officially my bargain of the year so far. I picked this up in Kilo Stop in Preston, where you buy things by the weight. They have a really cool selection of quirky bits and pieces with a mixture of vintage, new and second hand stuff for both women and men so if you are around go in! Plus the gorgeous lady in there is an absolute angel, so helpful and lovely. This cost me £2.50!! OMG!! I just love the colour and how floaty this is, I have mostly been wearing this over leggings with a white cami underneath or tucked into my disco pants with a bandeau under.

Anyone who follows me on instagram has probably seen my photo of these. Printed joggers are bang on trend, comfy and easy to wear so I picked up 2 pairs in Primark for £12 each. These elephant ones have been my favourite for this month, I've been wearing them turned up with studded boots and a baggy tee for my weird take on Sports Luxe (paired with my trusty red lippie has been my go-to uni look). I also bought a white/grey/teal/pink inky print pair to wear when it gets warmer.

What has been your favourite look this month?

PS Apologies for the selfies, everybody decided they got bored of taking photos for me and I was left in an empty house :(

What's in My Bag?

So I decided to give you lovelies an insight into what junk I carry round my on a daily basis! My handbag is a Primark £12 jobby, really spacious and a bit funky in my opinion. So the basics: purse (Primark like a billion years ago), tissues, phone, keys, pen, nail file. All boring sorry!

I always seem to carry sunglasses for some odd reason, this also means I break so many pairs because my bag gets bashed around constantly. I tend to stick to Primark cheap and cheerful ones to whip out if its a bit sunny (optimism ladies!) and I'm driving. These pretty ones are new and I picked them up for £2, I really liked the floral pattern round the edge and I only really suit large sunglasses.

A backcombing brush, I think £1 from Primark again. These are fab! I'm in need of a haircut at the moment so it is incredibly heavy and flat so I do need to keep touching up even though I know it is insanely bad for your hair!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Perfume, I go through perfume like its going out of fashion so I tend to stick to cheapy ones from Next or M&S during the day and keep ones like this for the night. But I'm silly and have ran out so until I buy more I'm being naughty and using my posh perfume during the day. It;s just so lovely and elegant I can't help it.

Now we get to my ridiculous amount of lip products. I have no idea why I carry so much of this around I just accumulate it all!

Carmex cherry flavour is absolutely lovely and smells delish I love it!

Vaseline Cocoa Butter, again, a staple it has to be with me at all times.

Elizabeth Arden 8 hr cream, I got this in my Glossybox and I think its great for dry lips and for sticking on really dry patches of skin.

Jelly Pong Pong Lip Blush, again I got this in my Glossybox and I love it, its such a pretty colour and goes on so nicely.

Barry M Ultra Moisturising Lip Paint in number 160 this is a really deep red/purple, great for nights out.

Topshop Lipstick in 'Whimsical', a matte peach so its perfect for Spring!

Hope you enjoyed this post! What are your handbag essentials?
